Significance Blood lipid levels (ie, triglycerides (TGs) and cholesterol) are a strong predictor
of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Current methods for measuring blood lipids require …

The development of new methods to assess biomarkers of cardiovascular disease is
currently a subject of scientific research. This article broadens our view of nonlinear optical …

Human serum lipoproteins are biological nanoparticles that transport insoluble cholesterol
and triacylglycerol molecules between the liver, intestine and peripheral tissues. Various …

Significance Near-infrared (NIR) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy has been widely used for
non-invasive glucose measurement in humans, as glucose can induce a significant and …

Reflectance spectra measured in Intralipid (IL) close to the source are sensitive to
wavelength-dependent changes in reduced scattering coefficient _ (μ^′ _s) and scattering …

In-vivo optical spectroscopy and the determination of tissue absorption and scattering
properties have a central role in the development of novel optical diagnostic and therapeutic …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of blood glucose concentration (BGC)
on in vivo human skin optical properties after oral intake of different sugars. In vivo optical …

When light interacts with tissue, it can be absorbed, scattered or reflected. Such quantitative
information can be used to characterize the optical properties of tissue, differentiate tissue …

Tissue glucose levels affect the refractive index of the extracellular fluid. The difference in
refractive index between the extracellular fluid and the cellular components plays a role in …

Chylomicrons (CMs) are lipoprotein particles circulating in blood and transporting dietary
lipids. Optically speaking, CMs are small compared to the wavelength of visible light and …
